Frustrated!

I'm a 'newbie' too so the only advice I can say is give it time... I cut out all sugar for the first 6 weeks of diagnosis, then went down to about 120g carbs for about four weeks, then went to 75g for about two weeks and in the last two weeks or so went down to 50g... And it's only in the last two weeks or so that I've got my fasting glucose and post dinner blood sugars into the non-diabetic range, despite the fact I added in exercise and dramatically reduced my sugar intake for about three months up till then... They did lower steadily over the course of that time, but it definitely took time and patience! The good thing is you're losing weight: during the whole three months experimenting I've only just started losing weight the last week or so... Which I can assure you isn't very motivating ;-)
Keep up the good work and I'm sure you'll start to see the changes in time

PS are you eating high fat, medium protein, low carb? That's the combo that suddenly seemed to make things 'click' for me... And I started off with fasting glucose of 12, then it dropped to around 8, and only since adding in more fat and less protein and carbs has it gone down to 5.5's...
